Back to the Republic of China as a commander

As the preparations for the federation began, many different voices began to emerge, first and foremost within the National Socialist Party.

As a political party single-handedly supported by Wang Zhenyu, many senior cadres including Zeng Qi and Li Buwei believe that today's achievements are inseparable from the hard work of all cadres of the National Socialist Party.In other words, since we fought the country, it is our turn to take the seat. The incomprehension and dissatisfaction with Wang Zhenyu's various policies have also grown over time.

In response to this situation, Wang Zhenyu held a symposium for mid- and senior-level cadres within the party on February 2, known in history as the "National Socialist Party Democratic Life Meeting" or "Conference of 15 People."At the meeting, Wang Zhenyu delivered the famous "February 600 Speech" in history. This speech had a major impact on the democratic process in China as a whole.

"Comrades, I am very glad to sit down with you and talk about our party, our government, our country and our future. We are all knowledgeable and educated people. We are not unfamiliar with the history of the Chinese nation. Throughout the dynasties, it seems that whoever fights the country and who sits in the country seems to be a rule. I worked hard and put my head on the waistband to rebel. After success, the power is in my hand After death, don’t pass it on to your own children and grandchildren? Could it be passed on to outsiders? This is the inherent thinking of our nation. I believe many people here think the same way, and even many people in our youth army still Thinking so. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to have great achievements and blessings for descendants!”

The cadres present immediately regained their spirits. As soon as the commander came up, he directly brought up the focus of everyone's recent discussions.

"You may think that many years later, when your descendants bring their descendants to offer incense to you, they will point to your photos and say, look, the happy life of our family comes from this ancestor. Be proud, it must be very Complacent. But let me tell you, this has nothing to do with you. If you don’t believe me, we can continue to talk about it. What was the purpose of launching the Revolution of [-], to overthrow the backward feudal system, but is this kind of idea of ​​blessing descendants a feudal idea? I can tell you, yes, yes, absolutely. Then our [-] Revolution tossed and tossed and killed so many compatriots. In the end, what we fought for was just to overthrow the emperor and abolish kneeling. Oh, yes, I also cut off my braids. It turned out that this is the requirement of the revolution. You may not be convinced, thinking that this is too big and too empty, it is better to benefit the children and grandchildren. Well, let’s talk about the problem of the children and grandchildren. Do you really think Using your power to arrange everything for your children and grandchildren is to give them happiness? Leaving aside, let’s talk about the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty. If we want to talk about the system of blessing descendants, there is no better blessing for descendants Come on. I won’t waste my time talking about what the Eight Banners system is. Let me introduce you to a comrade, Minister Chen Gongbo.”

Chen Gongbo did not refuse after being named, and stood up honestly: "The Eight Banners system was officially established by Qing Taizu Nurhachi in the 29th year of Wanli (1601) in the Ming Dynasty. When it was first established, four banners were established: yellow flag, white flag, red flag, and blue flag. .In 1614, the four banners were changed to Zhenghuang, Zhengbai, Zhenghong, and Zhenglan because of "returning to Yiguang", and four banners of bordered yellow, bordered white, bordered red, and bordered blue were added, collectively called the Eight Banners, commanding Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies. It is stipulated that every 300 people is a Niulu, and Niulu is one person, Wu Niulu is a Jiala (team), Jiala Erzhen (can lead) is one person, Wujiala is a Gushan, and Wujiala is a Gushan. Gushan Ezhen (dutong, banner owner) and one deputy, called Zuomei Leerzhen (deputy Dutong). After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he established the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Dynasty on the basis of the Manchu Eight Banners in order to expand the source of troops. The Army Eight Banners has the same organization as the Manchu Eight Banners. A total of 24 Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners constituted the whole of the Eight Banners system in the Qing Dynasty. After the Manchu Qing entered the customs, the Eight Banners Army was divided into the Forbidden Eight Banners and the Garrison Eight Banners.”

Wang Zhenyu took a sip of tea, and when he heard that he had stood up, Chen Gongbo sat down obediently.

Wang Zhenyu said with a smile: "Who are the Eight Banners? They are all descendants of the founding heroes who followed the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty to conquer the world. But let me ask everyone, during the Revolution of [-], who of you saw the Eight Banners coming to destroy us? Where did the Eight Banners, the pillars of the Qing Dynasty, go? Things went wrong because of the Eight Banners system. According to the original idea of ​​the Manchurians, the children of the Eight Banners were soldiers for generations, neither farming nor working nor doing business. When the population was small The identity of a bannerman is the same as his official position, but is my heroic son necessarily a good man? I insist that heroes are created by the environment and have a limited relationship with personal character. So since the son is not material for being a soldier, but I can only serve as a soldier. Is this killing my son's nature? Is it killing my son's talent? Maybe you think it's nothing, at least relying on the Eight Banners system, children and grandchildren can live happily without hunger or cold. So now, go Take a look in Beijing, what kind of life do these banner people live? Do they still have the time to hold bird cages and drink tea in teahouses while bragging about the great achievements of their ancestors from entering the customs from the dragon? Now it is a problem for them to eat , but ten years ago they were the unearned group in this country."

"It's true that Chinese people value blood and family ties, but sometimes we have to think about whether some of our practices really help our descendants or harm them. I, Wang Zhenyu, can also be like some of you. It means to engage in a dictatorship system. If I die, my son will succeed, and if you die, your son will succeed. However, if their children and grandchildren do not have this ability, or do not have this interest at all, and the country collapses and perishes in the end, we will benefit them. , or harmed them. How did the Ming Dynasty perish? Who was hanged by the crooked old tree on Jingshan in the end? Have you ever thought about it?"

"What is the purpose of our building a new federation, I might as well tell you here solemnly. It is to put power in a cage and let it serve the people instead of harming the people. It is to let every citizen have the opportunity to change themselves. Destiny, the opportunity to work hard to get rich. It is impossible for any country to eliminate classes under the current state of productivity, and it is impossible to treat them equally. But according to your feudal ideas, the final result is nothing more than making the differences between these classes more obvious. The class is highly solidified. The children of the poor are still poor, the children of the rich are still rich, the sons of officials are still officials, and the sons of generals are still generals. Don't talk about ability, don't talk about talent, don't talk about facts, don't talk about principles, and use everything Blood relationship, relationship, and region, what will happen in the end. The road is blocked, talented people are buried, and it’s okay to be self-defeating. If he wants to understand, he will stand in this government and this country The opposite of the class, and strive to break down the barriers between this class."

"Look at yourselves again. Do you know the consequences of selfishness? Do you know the consequences of power monopoly? Once the competition is lost, no matter how strong the beast will be, no matter how powerful the army is, it will become corrupt. A powerful political party will also be corrupted and paralyzed. Because the starting point of all your work is no longer for the country and the people, but for yourself and your children. Well, the principles have changed, and they monopolize power and do inhuman things. It’s not scary anymore, let’s see, how many princes in the Qing Dynasty liked masculinity? Let’s see, how prevalent was corruption and prostitution in the Qing Dynasty? Let’s see, when we launched the revolution in Wuhan, how many people were there in Beijing? Dare to lead troops to conquer? These are living examples, and they are effective. You have to work for your own benefit, and modify all policies to facilitate your own benefit. Then what will happen to the people below? Let me tell you, learn from it. In the end? It’s over, the country is broken, some people say that you can escape abroad, childish, people have left their names, and geese have left their names. Your name is engraved on the pillar of shame in history. Rong, or should Yue Fei be ashamed of his surname Qin in front of the tomb? People can't be too selfish."

"A child who grew up in a rural area may be poor, or his parents may be illiterate and uneducated. It doesn't matter. As long as the child has the ability to learn, we must give him the opportunity to enter a higher level through learning and selection. , so that our talents from all walks of life can continue to circulate and flow, our government can always be an elite government, and we can have an advantage in competition with other nations. Otherwise, no matter how rich we are, it will not be the strength of a lion, but the fatness of a pig .To show off again is equivalent to telling others, I can eat it, kill it quickly!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene. . .

"That's why we now look back and see so many ridiculous things in the Qing Dynasty. That's why we angrily condemned a criminal but turned into confrontation with the entire government? The purpose of our revolution is to pursue fairness, but after we seize power, we have to To create new injustice, I ask if it is fair or not. Well, even if you are great, I, Wang Zhenyu, went out from here and was killed by someone you sent. You replaced us and continued to practice dictatorship. No problem, you succeeded. So, have you ever thought about whether there will be such a day when your descendants lose the protection of power and the guarantee of the system in a certain reform due to various reasons, and fall from the upper class to the lower class, and what awaits them is a Heaps of unfairness, no matter how hard they try, they are not as good as others, no matter how hard they try, they can't change their class, how should you feel if you know?"

There was silence. . .

The medicine is almost ready, and Wang Zhenyu will make a final conclusion: "In any era, in the face of power and injustice, corruption and degeneration, the revolutionaries who dare to stand up and resist are the bravest. But it is only the bravest, not the most. Greatness, finally dare to dedicate the achievements of our revolution to this country, this nation is the greatest, not the revolutionaries who steal it for themselves, we should not only be the Yue Wumu of the Chinese nation, but also the Chinese nation Washington, the merits and demerits of thousands of years, have their own posterity to comment..."

Prolonged applause broke out at the scene. . .
